When it comes to gardens, there are many medium options. Here is a brief summary of what several different mediums do:
1) Rockwool-for top feed systems. The natural fibers are assembled in a vertical pattern allowing for proper dispersion of nutritional solutions as it flows from the top to the bottom of the substrate. Also used as a stand alone hydroponic medium.
2) Perlite-an amendment to existing mediums such as soil, coconut coir or rockwool. It increases air to water ratios in substrates enhancing root growth and performance.
3) Sure-to-grow-a revolutionary grow medium that is inert, lightweight, and requires no pre-conditioning treatments. Comes in a multitude of shapes.
4) Hydroton-dust free, won’t crumble and perfectly pH balanced. Primarily used in hydroponics or as a soil amendment. Can be cleaned and reused.
5) Coconut Coir- organic grow medium for hydroponic cultivation or amendment to organic soil. Has excellent air and moisture retention properties and harbors beneficial micro-organisms.
6) Organic soil- rich in beneficial micro-biology, contains its own ecosystem within every bag. Ideal for all stages of plant growth and takes fortification of synthetic and organic nutrition regiments.
